Grey Doffin Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Hi guys, I picked up a chawan at the show in Chicago. I know the hako-gaki says it was made at age 77 and I was told it was a gift to a famous ballerina and that it was taken to Europe, but I'm hoping to get the whole story. Can someone tell me the name of the potter and what all the box has to say? Thank you, Grey Quote
cabowen Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Presented to Yamane Kikuno after her European tour (countires listed) during a stop in Hawaii. Takeuchi Masao, June 4, 1955 perhaps.....Can't make out the maker on the cover who was 77 when he made this. Quote

Grey Doffin Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm guessing Takeuchi Masao gave the chawan to Yamane Kikuno. Was Takeuchi Masao the potter or is there another name on the lid? Grey Quote
cabowen Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 I think Takeuchi gave it but did not make it. I can't make out the maker's name on the lid but it does say he was 77 when he made it... Quote
